Hi all I wonder if I am the only one, or if allot of other players share my opinion with the Smartpistol. IMC Rising is out & I wanted to play it again, sinc eI wasnt a long time ago. But when I startet, it didn´t took me 5 minutes, till I got killed of one of those Smart-Pistol Noobs. & for it doesn´t matter if the weapon needs a long time to lock on. YOU DONT NEED ANY SKILL for that piece of crap! Just bunny hopping wait - & one undeserved kill thts it! & all these people talking "you need it for a challenge" or "its not so easy as you think" ONE THING: A Shooter is a game, where you train your reflexes & your fine motor skills. With that Noobgun - you dont do it anymore. A good video about it ist this one: So is it possible to do a voting about a (hardcore mode) without that gun?
OMFG i just dont understand the whining about the MK5, it is such a bad weapon compared too the carbine or CAR, you cant possibly win a gunfight because the overall locktime is around 2.4-2.8 sec, and every weapon can kill you under such time. And if you are moving fast enough or wallrunning, they cant lock on you, because you change your position, get behind walls, it is only good if you can sneak behind the enemy without him noticing you, but if you can do that, you basically can kill him with every other weapon. It is not op at all, and some maps i feel are designed for this weapon, because you hardly see enemy playerson in those maps, and the locking can help you spot them. But also it is comfusing sometimes, is it a grunt a specter or a player? If you can get behind enemy it is easier to hunt him down or if your aim is not that good, it is good for certain maps. I personally like using it, because it is fun as hell, but as i mentioned in certain maps it is almost if not completely useless.
I'm not going to weigh in with much on this thread. There have been a lot of threads regarding the mk5 and it's getting tiresome. All I'll say is that I needed to use the smart pistol for the gen 9 challenges. I'll never use it again. On maps like Angel City, Fracture and Nexus it's terrible due to range. You need to revert to your side arm or manually aim for the long shots that are easy with the carbine. It's good against grunts and poor players, that's about it.
Looks like you didn´t watch the video... Stop talking about this time to kill theory ! It only works, if none of the targets are moving. But gues what everything moves in Titanfall - its a freaking fast game! YOU DONT NEED ANY AIM WITH THAT NOOB GUN! Watch the video - he explains the problem perfectly & all I want is, that all the noobs play on their own servers, ´cause even if you kill the smartpistol enemy. At attrition he gets the points undeserved fast, for NO SKILL!
I watched the video. I don't care about the video. I don't play your game of Titanfall, I play mine. I destroy smart pistol users, end of. I hate using the gun, end of. Whether it's in the game or not doesn't bother me in the slightest. The silenced 101 is a much more devastating weapon for other people to play with.
This gun is so abusive. If there is a bunch of jerks using it on me, sometimes I use it on them. There are actually morons who brag about "trolling" with this weapon. They are so proud................of using "modified aimbot". If TitanFall survives to TitanFall 2 or something that takes all the cool features, we beg the devs to drop this stupid aimbot gun. The game has not reached it's full potential. I love to see it become a complete game like BF3. When COD Advanced Warfare will develope what Titanfall started...........but that is doubtful: they haven't made a decent game in a long time.
The smart pistol has barely more range than the shotgun maybe less. If someone's close enough to you to use it and had enough time to lock onto you than they've had ample time to kill you with any other weapon or a kick. Maybe be more aware of who's around you than staring threw a scope the whole time?
The smart pistol has a longer range than the shotgun (one of the worst weapons in the game). I've auto ejected out of a Titan, with someone also auto ejecting using the smart psitol, only to be picked off by that rat using a smart pistol at a long distance. Part of the problem is camping and cloaked pilots using the SP. That's why they are listed as ASSASSIN in the game. When you get in a fight with many of them, they just keep jumping around until they get a lock on you. If they cloak, then it can be very hard to see them. I have been suffering from latency in the game. When they start leaping all over the place, it's hard to shoot them. In some games, 75% of the enemy are using this weapon, with compounds annoyance. They just keep leaping around until they can get a lock on you. It's you against aimbot. Many find a high place and wait for you come by. It's annoying that they just point in your general direction and click the mouse. They don't even have to bother to aim. I never complain when I am fairly killed in the game. I think of the smart pistol as the "aimbot weapon". When you use it Frontier Defense, you realize just a truly ridiculous this gun is. Then their are those who troll using the smart pistol. They think they are somehow superior. My response, "Why are you bragging about using modified aimbot? Actually aim, shoot and kill me..........then I'll respect you. If Titanfall survives into another game (which will hopefully be complete by adding other weapon systems like Battle Field 3), I hope this aimbot weapon doesn't make it. Why put a modified form of aimbot in the game?
